Quite an interesting take on the rise of leftist radicalism in 2020 through 2023. Author is Mrs. Bari Weiss, so she and spouse know plenty about not offending the far left nor backing down from getting the facts.

I know some folks who would benefit from reading this often humorous tome.

Just starting Feb. 1

It’s getting into Harlan Coben territory in its narration. Quite a 3-star-rated title. You can see some things gelling from the hints laid with greater frequency.

Zipping through this one, it’s somewhat like Riley Sager’s Survive The Night. Not sure of the Gone Girl comparisons, as that’s the better book.

Starting book this day.

So-so book. The author harps on one area too long in chapter after chapter. He finds an article that he likes and then dissects it to showcase the good stuff that he agrees with. Am starting to skim pages.

At 28% in the author is referencing San Francisco as being Southern California. Much website-author quoting to point out Internet foolishness. This is a three-star book at best.

Really three-star reading at best. Too many references from Internet “publication” articles.

As others have noted, there is some straw-man type of rationalizing technique incorporated, and there’s already quite a bit of lyes, we were bad, but a few thousand years earlier in those cradles of civilization, things were much worse and harsh.”

A more easy read than I expected.

Slogging through this twisty thriller, looking forward to my next read.

Interesting, but the author wants you to buy his fasting-cheating program.

Still slogging through. I am somewhat skimming through the parts about manorial law. Just too much detail for my liking.

Pretty interesting. But not overly so. No visuals, which would help with clothing depiction.

Rather interesting. Some good facts to amuse.

Reasonably interesting.

As expected, what you’d expect in the 1300s.

Pretty typical, but good, Tao.

Getting better as I read through.

Stories just starting to commingle.

*contemplative

Short but contemplated work. Good to meditate on what’s really important.

Odd short stories, with lots of chilling, anti-social behavior.
